foothill,
Hate to hear about the wheel going out on you. The rim sounds like it may have been bad. Sounds like a rare case. I have several friends (light and very heavy) that use his wheels around here and havent had a problem but they dont use the AC hubs either. I have never been a fan of the AC hubs and esp the front Micro hub. Its light but everyone I know that had one it always developed a lot of play in them and you could move the wheel back and forth while it is on the bike. My girlfriend got talked into buying a set of the pre-built wheels from AC a couple of yrs ago and was always taking them to her local shop because they wouldnt stay true. She weighs 105 lbs and ride on good roads. I did have one of his wheels start cracking on me years ago but it was the Sun rim and had nothing to do with the construction of the wheel. He did say the AC 350 rims were hard to build and I dont even use the Campy hubs any longer. I sold all four sets of my Campy wheels and only use Hugi hubs now. I havent heard of any failures from Joe since he started using the Hugi hubs. I will be testing my 350's again on some of those cattle guards around Fredburg on Easter weekend. I will try and report back.
